Virtual & Hybrid Event Production for Nonprofit Organizations
Let us tackle your platform tech, training, support, and livestream production needs so you can focus on the content of your event.
We are veterans of social movements, storytellers with tech savvy, believers in community. We bring 20+ years’ experience in nonprofit organizing, digital marketing, design, and production to making virtual experiences epic.
Benefits of Virtual Events
Let’s face it. Virtual events are the way forward in engaging with your audience. And nonprofits are making some of the biggest waves in that ocean. So grab a board (of directors), because today’s virtual is tomorrow’s hybrid. And since follow-up events are key to ongoing engagement, virtual events are here to stay.
- Lower Budgets
- Audience Engagement & Networking
- Expand Your Reach
- Increase Donations
- Reporting & Analytics
While we all miss in-person events, they can be expensive and drain valuable resources away from fundraising and community engagement efforts. Virtual charity events provide a faster path to achieving your goals and make building important relationships more accessible.
From platform features to marketing strategies, nonprofits are using virtual events to give supporters exciting new ways to get involved. Networking opportunities are amplified with minimal time investment required.
Some of our nonprofit clients have grown their event audiences by 7x in a single virtual event. And there’s always next year to expand even further!
Philanthropy is increasingly trending toward “investing in” over just “giving to” causes. Virtual events are the quickest, most affordable way to make donors feel truly invested in your nonprofit’s mission – all from the convenience of their homes.
With events happening digitally, we can track everything in detail. We can even customize experiences based on the specific audience behaviors your organization wants to measure and analyze.
Who We Serve ↙
Social justice and human rights organizations
We partnered with the Equal Rights Amendment Coalition to produce a virtual fundraiser hosted by actress Alyssa Milano. The event helped raise awareness and funds to support the campaign to ratify the ERA.
Environmental conservation and sustainability groups
We worked with the Story of Stuff Project to organize a virtual rally called “Reclaim Nestlé’s Troubled Waters”. The event brought together activists, community leaders and concerned citizens to protest Nestlé’s water privatization practices and advocate for the human right to water.
Education and youth development nonprofits

#FULL-SERVICE#STRATEGY#PRODUCTION#PLATFORMS#MARKETING PACKAGE
When the pandemic forced CodePath, a tech education nonprofit, to pivot their in-person student hackathon to a virtual format, we helped them plan and execute an engaging online conference. The event attracted over 3,800 registrations and generated more than 5,100 leads for their programs.
Health and medical research foundations
We produced a virtual gala for the Buffalo Urban League that raised over $200,000 to support their health equity and wellness programs serving historically underserved communities.
Arts, culture and humanities institutions
We worked with the AFL-CIO to transform their annual in-person conference into an immersive virtual experience. The event attracted nearly 3,000 registrations, more than 5 times their typical in-person attendance, and received rave reviews from attendees who called it the “best conference they’ve ever attended.”
International development and humanitarian aid organizations
We partnered with UNICEF to produce “Sko Vote Den”, a virtual intertribal event to increase Native American voter participation in the 2020 US elections. The event was live streamed to over 6 channels and reached thousands of viewers across the country.
These are just a few examples of the 100+ successful virtual events we’ve produced for nonprofit clients. We’d love to learn more about your organization’s goals and discuss how we can help you create a virtual event that will engage and inspire your community.
